My father a few years ago found some really strange coins and he really wants to know now where they are from and if they are even worth anything. I have pictures of one of the coins as he thinks he may have lost the rest of them. Thank you to anyone who replies or knows anything about this coin.
Hi Verfolgung, Your coin is definitely Roman. My estimate is 1st to 5th century. I f you could give the coin diameter (inches or millimeters) and metal type (copper or silver), I could probably identify it for you. I do not know anything about values, but you could investigate that much easier on your own if you know what you have. Regards, lou
Trajan. With what looks to me like Victory on the reverse. I'm sure someone will be along with more details. If you want to try and find it here knock yourself out. http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/trajan/t.html

Good morning Randy, Depending upon the size you got it. Could be AE AS but only the op knows how big it is.
I will try to get a comparison photo the next time I visit him. Sitting it next to a quarter should be good enough right?
